Paper Airplane Chase is a standalone version of the "Paper Plane" minigame from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, released as a launch title for the Nintendo DSi. Not a very exciting launch lineup, but it's something.

Regional Differences

Unused Graphics

The file at Graphics.NARC/Plane/plane_bg.zcg contains some miscellaneous graphics used in-game, but also has the original GBA Paper Plane title screen leftover from WarioWare Inc. completely intact in all versions.

Blank	Japanese/English/Chinese/Korean	Spanish/Italian	French	German

Unused buttons sprite with a Paper Plane Icon.

Unused button sprite showing a Grey Silhouette resembling Pyoro 2.

Unused Start bubble sprites in Japanese resembling Pyoro and Pyoro 2 instructing the players to start the game with the Ⓐ Button.

Only in the Japanese version, there's an unused old variant of the Countdown sprites for the Race mode.

Unused Sounds

TWL_PLANE_SE_BOMB_LANDING

TWL_PLANE_SE_BOMB_SHOT

Two sound effects for landing your plane and getting your plane shot from a starting position. Neither of these happen in-game.

TWL_PLANE_SE_wario_Select_1

TWL_PLANE_SE_wario_Select_2

TWL_PLANE_SE_wario_Select_3

Even though this is a minigame previously included in WarioWare Inc., Wario is never seen or heard in the actual game. In fact, the .sdat file completely removed Wario's voice for this game, but Pyoro (another unlockable minigame in WarioWare Inc.) also got onto the DSi Shop and share near-identical .sdat files with a few changes.

iQue Region Locking

The Chinese version has an "Only for iQue DS" graphic.

This is odd, because there was no way to install Chinese DSiWare on a non-iQue DSi, as the DSi Shop was region-locked. The only way to display this screen is by installing the game on a modified or devconsole DSi or 3DS from any other region.

Future iQue DSiWare didn't implement this screen.
